Manage episode 474569162 series 3411996
Looking for a meaningful way to keep students engaged in reading—at the end of the year or really any time? In this episode, I’m sharing how student-led book talks can build confidence, spark authentic reading conversations, and create a classroom culture where students want to read.

Whether you're wrapping up the year or starting fresh, this episode will help you make book talks a powerful part of your reading routine.
